OPERATION 3

2)If the level is at least at the minimum level “L” mark  on the dipstick, but less than the “F” mark , the engine can be operated. NOTICE:

If the level is above the “F” mark, the engine is overfilled. Consult a Yamaha dealer to have oil extracted from the engine to avoid damage.

3)If oil must be added, add just enough oil to raise the level to the “L” mark. Adding more oil could result in an overfilled engine once it warms up.

4)Repeat for the other engine.

Warm Engine Check

1)Be sure the engine is warmed to operating temperature.

TIP: The engines are at the proper operating temperature after they have been run for 5 minutes or more at 7000 rpm or above and then at a trolling speed for 2 to 3 minutes. If the boat is on the trailer, run the engine with the flush attachment at an idle speed for 6 to 8 minutes, or at least 13 minutes if air temperature is 59° F (15°C) or colder.

2)Remove the oil tank filler cap , wipe the dipstick with a clean rag, and then screw the cap on securely. Remove the cap again and check the oil level.

3)The oil level should be between the minimum and maximum level marks. If the level is below the “L” mark , then add only enough oil to raise the level above the “L” mark but never above the “F” mark .

NOTICE: If the level is above the

“F” mark, the engine is overfilled. Consult a Yamaha dealer to have oil extracted from the engine to avoid damage.

4) Repeat for the other engine.
